Oaxaca City, Mexico (March 24) - Top of the talking points this week is the earthquake, aka sismo, on Wednesday. Brutal! screamed the Noticias headline. That said, the earth simple rolled underneath. Reports are coming in of major structural damage, but there were only a few human casualties. For those keeping track of earthquakes in Oaxaca, check out the wiki. Also, check out the Storify feature. On a personal note, I am grateful to friends and family posting queries on Facebook and via email. Headline news causes panic when it does not need to, yet by default it invariably stokes the fears of worst possible scenarios. Talking Point #2: U.S. President Obama's daughter visited Oaxaca. This made the news big time with locals exchanging queries of sightings. Talking Point #3: Since part of the roof of the Guelaguetza Auditorium collapsed a week ago, the decision was made to bring the entire structure down. This is not related to the earthquake.
